What an opinion these people must have of themselves. They think others will feel deprived of their majesty and magnificence.

‘Before I’m an athlete, I’m a black woman’: Tennis star Naomi Osaka pulls from US tournament in protest over Jacob Blake shooting

 

[sportingly]

Good for Naomi, she really has heart and compassion, I'm proud of her.

 

[sportingly]

Osaka really is doing what she feels is the right thing to do at this point. I know where she is coming from.

 

[wishful thinking]

Way to go Osaka. Way to stick up for a thug that is resisting arrest and was reaching in his car for a knife. You could argue (kind of) that the police could've done a better job of handling it, but this guy is totally at fault for ignoring orders of a police and they were arresting him because he had a warrant for an arrest of him on something else. Do any of you guys understand what is going on with most of these cases. They are ignoring orders from the police, resisting arrest and putting the officers in danger of making a life or death decision.

Police shouldn’t have a “shoot to kill only” system. They can shoot to disable the victims.

“Star”

I like her call on this.

He’s disabled now.

She should stop playing tennis and switch to full-time rioting, arson and looting.

Ah, so it’s looking for attention. Makes sense since Ive never heard of this person.

 

[Hs0022]

Yes. They tried to kill him I think or wouldn’t have fired seven times. After one accurate shot to the leg police should be trained to disable and cuff the victims if they aren’t complying with the law agents.

Sounds great on paper. But police don’t take turns shooting criminals and when their life and the lives of others are at risk then they are properly trained to shoot to kill. Shooting someone in leg isn’t always going to stop someone from killing people. Maybe in a video game, but not in real life.

 

[RobBase]

This person is a woman putting her support behind a rapist is that right?

Does she not have a PR person?

doesn't seem you know much about the WTA. She's been one of the more steady womens tennis players in the world since winning the US Open in 2018

 

[RobBase]

I don’t. But when there is a star in tennis casual fans hear about them (Williams sisters, Agassi, McEnroe, Sampras etc..).

you should probably stay out of this one, Rob. You are out of your element.

So she is fully behind a black criminal who was guilty of sexual assault and terrorizing a young woman? How fucking noble of her.

This is now what major league sports is trying their best to make part of who they are.
